Soon and very soon

Soon and very soon; We are going to see the King
Soon and very soon; We are going to see the King
Soon and very soon; We are going to see the King
Hallelujah, hallelujah; We are going to see the King

No more crying there; We are going to see the King/2x
Hallelujah, hallelujah; We are going to see the King
No more dying there; We are going to see the King/2x
Hallelujah, hallelujah; We are going to see the King.
